Hartjes, Thomas A. (author), Mytnyk, S. (author), Jenster, G. (author), van Steijn, V. (author), van Royen, M.E. (author)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a family of small membrane vesicles that carry information about cells by which they are secreted. Growing interest in the role of EVs in intercellular communication, but also in using their diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential in (bio) medical applications, demands for accurate assessment of their...review 2019

Suresh Kumar, P. (author), Korving, Leon (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Witkamp, G.J. (author)Eutrophication and the resulting formation of harmful algal blooms (HAB) causes huge economic and environmental damages. Phosphorus (P) from sewage effluent and agricultural run-off has been identified as a major cause for eutrophication. Phosphorous concentrations greater than 100 μg P/L are usually considered high enough to cause...review 2019

(author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Data are essential in all areas of geophysics. They are used to better understand and manage systems, either directly or via models. Given the complexity and spatiotemporal variability of geophysical systems (e.g., precipitation), a lack of sufficient data is a perennial problem, which is exacerbated by various drivers, such as climate change...review 2019

Cui, T.J. (author), Joo, C. (author)Argonaute (Ago) proteins are of key importance in many cellular processes. In eukaryotes, Ago can induce translational repression followed by deadenylation and degradation of mRNA molecules through base pairing of microRNAs (miRNAs) with a complementary target on a mRNA sequence. In bacteria, Ago eliminates foreign DNA through base pairing of...review 2019

van der Hoeven, F.D. (author)Small settlements as a category are doing fine in the Netherlands, contrary to overall sentiment. Small settlements do face specific issues, though, issues that one would expect to see in larger cities, possibly the result of the hybrid urban nature of the Netherlands: many small cities in a vast urban region. This article showcases four...review 2019

Gehring, P. (author), Thijssen, J.M. (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)Single-molecule junctions — devices in which a single molecule is electrically connected by two electrodes — enable the study of a broad range of quantum-transport phenomena even at room temperature. These quantum features are related to molecular orbital and spin degrees of freedom and are characterized by various energy scales that can be...review 2019

(author)Distinguishing between consumers’ positive and negative affect is a popular approach in both marketing research and practice, but such valence-based approaches sacrifice specificity and explanatory power. As emotions of the same valence can greatly differ with regard to their underlying appraisal patterns, they also differently affect...review 2019
